DECEMBER 2022 WATERMEDIA CHALLENGE

[KreativeK]

Here is Seagull Shore, a crop of the photo, as not much time today. I wanted to focus on the foam, sand, and its coloration so chose Daniel Smith watercolors on 140 lb cold press Grumbacher paper size 3x9. When dry I did splattering mixing white gouache with raw sienna.

Kay, great crop. The bird and the background are so harmonious.

 

[KreativeK]

Thank you!

 

[CaliAnn]

Kay: Such a beautiful and interesting interpretation on the bird

 

[Joy]

Kay, great creative interpretation!

 

[KreativeK]

Thanks CaliAnn and Joy! Honestly, I didn't think it would garner a second glance...

Jo, nice lighthouse. I like the shadows and the detailed rails at the top.

Vivien, hope you will feel up to painting this month.

Kay, what an interesting crop to allow you to concentrate on the textures.

I did a couple of "yellow" ones. Both are ink and watercolor in XL Mix Media sketchbook. Each is about 5"x7".

 

[CaliAnn]

Anne - both are beautiful - but that car is fantastic!

 

[Joy]

Anne - The headlights on the car are very convincing. You never waste a mark; both are excellent.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Kay, the bird idea is so creative or Kreative! I like your ideas.

Anne, both of the yellows are beautiful. The flowers look airy and lively and the car is so super.

Applause to you both.

Thanks everyone for the comments and likes.

Christel, beautiful sunset. I love the warm colors and the palm trees silhouetted against the sky.

Here's my try with the pigeon. It's ink and watercolor, about 6" x 8" in XL Mix Media sketchbook.

Anne: Love your little bird - he's just too cute!

 

[KreativeK]

Anne, wow, your yellows are so cheerful and strong. Love the gull, too!

Christel, your sunset is just splendid also!
